In recent years synchrotron x-ray microprobes and nanoprobes have emerged as key
characterization tools with a remarkable impact for different scientific fields including solid …

This review is devoted to the study of ultrafast laser ablation of solids and liquids. The
ablation of condensed matter under exposure to subpicosecond laser pulses has a number …

The ultrafast response of metals and semiconductors to electronic excitations is analysed.
Time resolved two-photon emission and non-linear optics allow us to study the relaxation of …

The ultrafast laser ablation of silicon has been investigated experimentally and theoretically.
The theoretical description is based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with …

The crater morphology upon femtosecond laser ablation from BaF2 and CaF2, exhibits
several periodic structures of characteristics that cannot be explained by interference …

An application of an ultra-short femto-second (fs) pulsed laser (30 fs, 800 nm, 1 kHz)
radiation under a simultaneously varied laser fluence (0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 J/cm 2) and number …

This two-volume work covers ultrafast structural and electronic dynamics of elementary
processes at solid surfaces and interfaces, presenting the current status of photoinduced …

Atomic heating in a solid takes place after an impact of a swift heavy ion within a time of
electronic cooling there, ie,∼ 100 fs. This implies an extremely fast electron–ion energy …

It is well known that sufficiently thick metals irradiated with ultrafast laser pulses exhibit
phonon hardening, in contrast to ultrafast nonthermal melting in covalently bonded …

Processes of graphitisation of laser-irradiated polycrystalline diamond surface exposed to
multipulse irradiation are studied experimentally. The thickness of the laser-modified layer …
